ok, I'll update the tutorial later to an alternative download which is only 100MB. // Edit I've updated the tutorial with a Link to the Visual Studio 2010 Diagnostic Tool.

awesome news I can't wait for updated version

@cluberti How can we detect which driver it is?

Are you using Version F12? http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=2749&ver=#anchor_os Are you using the latest drivers? http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/Driver_Model.aspx?ProductID=2749&ost=windows+7+64bit#anchor_os

could you please send me the link?

maybe cluberti has an idea, but I think it may be an hardware issue.

I don't see anything new in the trace which helps you. Please Contact the MSI support and tell them about it.

please compress the etl file as a zip archive and upload it and send me the link in a Personal Message.

the dx.sys is related to your graphics card. Which graphics card do you use? make sure you are using the latest drivers! nDIS.sys is part of the networking functionality of Windows. So make sure that you use the latest network card drivers. The 3rd driver belongs to your sound card. Which one do you use? The 4th driver is the USB port driver. Have you installed the chipset drivers for your mainboard? which USb devices do you use?

What's your hardware? Please make sure you're using the latest BIOS and chipset drivers.

Have you tried the latest driver from Intel? Does it solve the issue?

ClearType is the font smoothing technology from MS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClearType

You can't change DirectX in Windows Vista/7. Those DirectX DLLs are used for Windows Aero Glass. Which driver are you using for your Intel® GMA X4500? A driver directly from Intel or a modified driver form your PC maker?

I love ClearType. I'm using it since 2001. I can't live without it.

For the Microsoft ACPI-compliant Control Method Battery issue you should try to contact the MS support. I don't know why it causes the spikes.

Happy Birthday Mr Snrub

This is NO monster folder. The files are only stored 1 time on your HDD and mapped as Hard Links to the destination folder. http://translate.google.de/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.windowsblog.at%2Fpost%2F2010%2F04%2F12%2FHowTo-Wie-groc39f-ist-mein-Windows-Ordner-wirklich.aspx&sl=auto&tl=en

Happy Birthday Zxian!

I've downloaded the Professional. I'll install VS2010 later

have you tried system restore to a point before you installed that bad tool?

I mean a Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) call, if you have an issue with Windows. But as you found out is was an issue with your WLAN/ graphics card.

the other NIC may have an integrated chip which processes some tasks in hardware, while the WLAN adapter uses the CPU more. Because the ATI card causes the issue, contact the AMD/ATI support and tell them your results.

Oh yes, I fixed that. No need to disable UAC hereafter ok, fine.

Hi Jonathan, I saw your PM, I check the file later and post what I see. Contact the MS support and create a new PSS for your issue.

I think it may be caused by the PowerSaving feature of your mobile Intel i3 CPU. Which powerplan do you use? Try changing to high performance and disable all power saving features. Does it help? Or do you still have spikes from the ACPI.sys driver?
